The Unfold Revelation

Hare

Me, Asia, and Jare were childhood friends. Our parents have also been friends with each other since they were in high school, and ever since we got to bond with each other's families, When we were in high school, we met Austin. Back then, he was really popular among students, not just because of his appearance and background but also because of his knowledge and skills that make him on top. He is the SSG president in high school, and students respect him all the time. Oh, I forgot to mention that our parents are also business partners, and as we know, among business partners, we have what we call the "arranged marriage" to make each other's business grow. Of course, our parents are not cruel, especially Asia's, so they have decided between me and Austin whose Asia is going to marry. Asia's got the freedom to choose between us or reject us; we, as high school students, don't know what it is all about. And Asia, as a good daughter, decided that they would give her time to decide between me and Austin. 
 
As the years pass, we four become inseparable. We helped each other through any obstacles that each of us faced. As we enter senior high school, specifically when we are graduating, I have decided to confess to Asia about my feelings for her, but before I did, I backed out. Why? Because I saw Asia and Austin smiling at each other, I knew that before I took my actions, I had already lost. A few days after they came to our house, they announced in front of me and Jare that they were officially dating, which our families fully accepted, as we are, as I am. When we graduate from senior high school, we go to the same university. And yes, the SB University. Our friendship remains strong, as does their relationship. Paulo, who mentioned that we've been friends ever since, knew it. We consider him our friend, even though he has been so aloof to us since high school. In his second year of college, Austin asked for our help to propose to Asia, and yes, we helped him. The proposal went successfully, and they got married after a month in private. It was a simple yet elegant marriage, and we are so happy for them. It feels like a happy ending, as we thought. 
 
Two months after their wedding, I was shocked when Asia called me to come with her to Italy. She's panicking and crying, so I go to her. I saw her in the streets that were covered with rain, looking helpless and crying. I asked her what happened, but she didn't answer; instead, she cried more out loud. After she calmed down, I asked her the same question again. "What happened? Where is Austin?" She looked at me with anger in her eyes and answered, "He cheated on me." As we waited for our flight to take off, I contacted Austin out of anger and confronted him, shouted at him, and threw him bad words. Austin got confused with how I reacted; he asked about Asia because Asia said that I invited her to visit our house. So I got confused also. I explained to him what had happened, and he got dumbfounded. "What?! I am not cheating with my love. The girl that I am with is the wife of my cousin! She needed my help about the gift she will give to my cousin on their wedding anniversary, and her name is Lovey Run!" In the end, it is all a misunderstanding and miscommunication between husband and wife. 
 
Austin decided to let Asia go to Italy for her to relax, and he will also go the day after to explain to Asia what really happened. I went to Asia and was confused because of the food that she ate—peanut butter in spaghetti—but I shrugged it off. As we are nearing our destination, something explodes that makes their lives a disaster. The turbulence of the airplane caught fire, and we panicked. The first thing that I do is protect Asia. She is crying; her eyes are filled with worried emotions. As we were going to land and crash into trees, she begged me, saying, "Please save our baby," and we collapsed. I opened my eyes because of the familiar crying noise, and there I saw my parents, including Jare. I asked them about where she was, and they said that she was at another hospital with her parents. After I got discharged, I immediately went to her and found out that she's in a coma. Her parents know about her pregnancy and ensure that she and the baby will survive. Tito and Tita begged not to tell Austin why. Because Asia said so through the letter they found in her pocket. She wants Austin to continue his studies without any distraction; she supports his career; and she will always be his cheerleader. Asia delivered their child while in coma, and it put her life in a critical condition, but thankfully she survived. Tito and Tita processed the child's papers and took good care of their grandson, but because of their work, they got so busy, so I volunteered to help them take good care of Asia and the baby. After 3 months, Tito and Tita have decided to keep the baby hidden, and of course, I am the one who took on the responsibility of taking care of the baby. 
 
Oh, or should I say? Babies. 
 
And after a month, I flew back to the Philippines with the babies. Asia woke up from a coma, and that's not the end of their sufferings. She has amnesia, and she does not remember anything except her parents. I continued taking care of the babies because of the favor of Asia's parents. The reason is for Asia to heal from her trauma and condition. And as you can see now, that is the reason why I have decided to be separated from my parents and have my own house. The reasons why I have always had something important to do. 
 
Yes, Dia and Claun are Austin's and Asia's twin babies.
